Rebecca Taylor recently launched La Vie, a second collection of jeans, cotton shirting, and more casual day-to-day pieces. It’s directly inspired by her own style, which you might describe as “chic tomboy”—think vintage Levi’s, a ruffled shirt, and loafers. That’s how lots of girls are dressing these days, but they still need their silk dresses, arty jumpsuits, and “dressed up” blouses, which is where Taylor’s main line comes in.

In fact, now that La Vie is solidly under way, Taylor might have more room to experiment with her namesake collection. With denim and shirting taken care of, RT can just be for the really special, keepsake pieces. For Spring ’17, Taylor didn’t land on a specific inspiration or theme, but you could sense that she went with her instincts: She’s feeling printed silks again, and the sakura-printed dresses were lovely. Since Taylor’s idea of the perfect jean is La Vie’s new cropped, super-high-waisted pair, she thought her girls might need some really voluminous shirts to wear with them. Taylor pointed out a lacy white-and-cream blouse with poufed-out sleeves and a sleeveless top with giant ruffles at the shoulders. Romance is one thing you can count on in every Rebecca Taylor collection; the good news is, from the look of the first few days of NYFW, those feminine, Victorian-inspired blouses aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
